:: About

The Grow library is a toolset consisting of a series of procedural geometric mesh generators/modifiers and (realtime) rendering tools.

These tools can be used standalone or are easily integrated into an automated/
scripted processing pipeline.



:: Requirements

* Windows Vista/7/8 x64
* Php 5.4+
* Saves .LXO files (can be opened in Modo and Unity)

:: Installation

php interface: Unzip to wwwroot/inetpub and open any of the gen.*/compiler.* scripts in a browser window.



:: Brancher

in:splitdepthmaxmaximum branching depth
in:rootsidescountnumber of quads around the base of the tree
in:treelengthrandomized length of the tree
in:treeenvelopecurve describing the radius of the tree along its length
in:curvaturecurvation of the tree along its length
in:roottangentbiasbias a branch's initial orientation towards the tangent of its parent
in:newbranchchancechance a new branch grows out of a quad
in:newbranchhorizonlevel a new branch towards the X-axis
